Healthy Gameday Snacks: Air Fryer Buffalo Wings
This crowd-pleasing appetizer is perfect for gameday or any time you’re craving wings. Enjoy these crispy wings without the grease, oil, or extra calories!

Nothing says football Sunday like a mountain of buffalo wings. But if you're tired of feeling like you need a nap (or a diet) after every game, it’s time to call an audible. Enter: the air fryer!
With this magical kitchen gadget, you can whip up crispy, saucy wings that hit all the right notes without the post-wing guilt. Think of it as the MVP of snack time—delivering all the flavor and crunch with way less oil.
The air fryer keeps things light by using a fraction of the oil, so you can enjoy that classic crunch without all the deep-fried drama. And while your team might be unpredictable, these healthier wings are a guaranteed win.
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 pounds chicken wings
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup hot sauce of choice
- Nonstick cooking spray
- 1 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
- 4 oz. blue cheese crumbles
- 1 1/2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons water
Greek Yogurt Blue Cheese Dressing Directions:
- Place Greek yogurt and half of your blue cheese into a medium bowl and mash blue cheese crumbles into the yogurt with a fork to combine.
- Mix in vinegar, lemon juice, water, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the remaining blue cheese crumbles to your dressing and mix again. Set aside.
Buffalo Wings Directions:
- Coat your air fryer basket with nonstick cooking spray.
- With a paper towel, pat your wings until dry and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
- Place your wings in a single layer at the bottom of your basket and make sure none are touching. Set the air fryer to 360-degrees and cook for 24 minutes, flipping halfway.
- After the initial 24 minutes, flip your wings again and bump the temperature up to 390-degrees. Cook for an additional 6 minutes, flipping halfway through, until your wings are nice and crispy.
- While the wings finish cooking, melt your butter in the microwave and combine it with your hot sauce.
- Transfer your wings into a large bowl with your hot sauce and toss until coated.
